Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 1 Tent 1-Person 3-Season
Lightest Solo Tent Available, yet . . .

First let me start by saying I've had this tent for 2 years, and it just keeps on working. Lightweight, packs up small, and roomy laterally. On the downside, getting in and out of this puppy is a head scraping experience, but just barely. Also, be prepared to bring plenty of stakes to get a stable platform. During one high-wind situation, I had to reposition the tent to increase stability. Hope Big Agnes considers two hubs in the poles versus the current one to increase stability (e.g., MSR EoS). Lastly, I do most backcountry in the Appalachian's, and I have yet to wake up to a wet interior; great ventilation!
